Calculate the energy released when a 28.9 gram piece of copper is cooled from its melting point of 1083 c to 25.0 c the specific heat of copper is .385 j/g c

Explanation:

The formula for the heat released is

q = mCΔT

Data:

m = 28.9 g

C = 0.385 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹

T₁ = 1083 °C

T₂ = 25.0 °C

Calculations:

(a)Temperature change

ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 25.0 - 1083 = -1058 °C

(b) Heat released

q = 28.9 × 0.385 × (-1058) = -11 800 J = -11.8 kJ

The negative sign shows that energy is released, so the copper has released of energy.

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
